Reviews

[Bill Forgeard · Rating 4 out of 5]

John Stott is always biblical without being out of touch, theological without being abstract and challenging without being discouraging. This is a down to earth reminder of what it mean to be "in Christ". Eight devotional studies of New Testament propositions: living through, on, in, under, with, unto, for and like Christ. Although that sounds dangerously dull, in fact it was readable and encouraging. Only being 128 pages long helps, with each chapter arranged in short sections. I didn't hurry through it, given a number of other thick books I am currently reading. Just what I needed.

A wonderful meditation filled with the Word, hymns and poems bringing glory to God.

This book focuses on the Christian's life and what it means to live our lives through, on, in, under, with, unto and for Christ. We find that he is our mediator and foundation, our lifegiver and our Lord, our secret and the goal of our living, our lover and our model.

2 Corinthians 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Superb.

''we are not satisfied by a superficial modification of behaviour patterns in conformity to some Christian sub-culture which expects this, commands that and prohibits the other...Christianity without Christ is ...a corpse without breath.' (pp109,111)

Enjoyed this. Had some very helpful things to think about, and was written in an engaging fashion.
